Title | Cairn at Rombalds Moor triangulation pillar |
Description | A turf covered cairn, 14.5m. in diameter, 0.5m high, mutilated by the insertion of a triangulation pillar. Surveyed by O.S. in 1965. English Heritage Scheduled Monument Record for SAM no 25293 (30/06/1995); The monument includes a large, circular, truncated cairn 17m in diameter and 0.6m high. The main Rombalds Moor triangulation pillar is located slightly south of the centre of the cairn on an earth and stone mound consisting of cairn material disturbed when the triangulation pillar was erected. The north eastern quadrant of the cairn is hollowed out, probably as a result of stone robbing for the nearby boundary wall. Just to the south of the cairn is an Ordnance Survey bench mark carved into a boulder. |
